I ordered one too. I love things under a dollar :-)

But if anyone here has it, do you guys know if it's reliable? if not, I'm not complaining :-) It was still cheap

It would cost me more as I'd have to shoot myself in the foot before I'd use Google Checkout

Why wouldn't you use Google Checkout?

Just kidding, I work for a small competitor in the Payments space.
Actually, by taking advantage of it, I would be adding to the millions and millions of dollars that Google have thrown away.

In for one. It's not an in line tds meter. You can test your tap water first then test the water your RO/DI unit produces. Thanks for posting this deal. Ive been looking for one.

***. They didn't even ship it yet. I hope mine doesn't get canceled. I spent a good $.72 on it. I could have bought 7 sweet and sour packets from Mc D's and still have two cents left! What an outrage.

My tracking info says I should receive mine on the 21st. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I shared the link with my coworker, who ordered his a day after mine, and he also received a cancellation email today.

Yeah I just got an out of stock email as well. The thing that sucks is that I doubt we can sign up again or transfer our free $10 to something else.

I got a 1gb USB drive in the mail a couple of days ago using the same thing! This time it wasn't out of stock and they sent it in early! and I paid 78cents too! So if you don't want to TDS meter you can get the USB.
